Voltage configurable solid state lighting apparatuses, systems, and related methods
First Claim
1. A solid state lighting apparatus comprising:
- a substrate;
an array of solid state light emitters arranged on or over the substrate;
a plurality of driving components arranged on or over the substrate, wherein each driving component is configured to independently activate and deactivate different solid state light emitters of the array of solid state light emitters during a portion of an alternating current (AC) cycle; and
terminals by which a user can select a series or parallel connection for the plurality of driving components.

Abstract
Solid state lighting apparatuses, systems, and related methods are described. A solid state lighting apparatus includes an array of solid state light emitters arranged on or over the substrate and a plurality of driving components arranged on or over the substrate. The driving components are configured to independently activate and deactivate at least some of the solid state light emitters of the array of solid state light emitters during a portion of an alternating current (AC) cycle. A method of providing a solid state lighting apparatus includes providing a substrate, mounting an array of solid state light emitters on or over the substrate, and providing a plurality of driving components on or over the substrate. A solid state lighting system includes a solid state lighting apparatus having an array of solid state light emitters, driving components, and a rectifying circuit for rectifying current supplied to the driving components.
